I just noticed this week that my main e-mail address gets TONS of spam. 
This is the e-mail address that I didn't think was posted anywhwere, not 
even on the web. I have SBC's spamGuard turned on for that account.

On the other hand, this account that I use for the lists, has no spam 
filtering beyond what is built into thunderbird. On this account, I get 
NO spam. The SpamGuard is turned off.

Go figure, huh?

PS- No, I'm not complaining don't anyone forward me their spam. ;-)
